when buildmode switches to ghostmode cause of having not the right item in my inventory when i activated buildmode, it stays there until i press Q and activate it again, nontheless i got some more items in the meantime while having buildmode activated.

It would be cool if this mode would be more - dynamic.
i.e. its decided on entering buildmode AND on changing inventory if the buildmode is used in ghost - or realmode.

so when my items reach zero, i automatically continue building ghosts - and if i am in ghostmode not forced by SHIFT, my it changes back the moment i receive new items that fit the item i am building right now.

Yes, please... The current auto ghost is kind of annoying, because I'm making the last 6 belts and placing "ghost ghost ghost ghost"...

In Settings>Interface one can enable placing ghost items.

Current behaviour:

precondition:

• No mining drills in inventory
• Mining drills in hand crafting queue

behaviour:

1. pick up ghost mining drill in the hand
2. wait for the mining drill to be crafted
3. build the mining drill

post condition:

• Ghost mining drill has been placed (even though there is now a mining drill in the inventory)

Expected behaviour:

once handcrafting is finished (after 2) the ghost will be replaced by a real mining drill, as they are in the inventory now. So you don't build a ghost, but a normal mining drill.

Always consume inventory items when possible (unless shift is involved).
